Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide in treating patients who have unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

RATIONALE: STI571 may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and may be an effective treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of STI571 in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory soft tissue sarcoma.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of nitrocamptothecin in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas.

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational real-world study to explore the therapy patterns and clinical outcomes of Avapritinib in patients with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).

This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without ipilimumab works in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from the primary site to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether nivolumab works better with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable sarcoma.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of sunitinib alternating with regorafenib in participants with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST, if the standard approved therapies (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib) have failed to control the disease. Additionally, this study seeks to determine the highest dose that can be given safely for this combination of drugs.

Randomized, placebo-controlled, phase III study of regorafenib 160 mg once daily on intermittent dosing schedule of 3 weeks on treatment followed by 1 weeks off demonstrated the significant benefit of regorafenib in terms of PFS in patients with GISTs who had failed to both imatinib and sunitinib. However, there are concerns that tumors and tumor-related symptoms may be progressed during off treatment period. Investigators hypothesize that continuous dosing schedule of regorafenib might be feasible and effective to prevent disease flare on off-treatment period. Based on the results of previous dose escalation study for continuous regorafenib dosing, we investigate the 100 mg daily dose of regorafenib in patients with TKI-refractory GISTs.

This study is an open-label, multicenter, phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, PK and clinical efficacy of avapritinib in Chinese subjects with unresectable or metastatic GIST. The study consists of two parts: dose escalation (phase I) and dose expansion (phase II).

This trial was a Phase I/II, non-randomized, open label, multi-center study, following a sequential 2-part design.
